Not Okay is a 2022 American satirical black comedy-drama film written and directed by Quinn Shephard. The film features Zoey Deutch in the role of a young woman who desperately seeks Internet fame and adoration. Her plan succeeds when she pretends to be a bombing survivor. Supporting cast includes Mia Isaac, Nadia Alexander, Embeth Davidtz, Karan Soni, and Dylan O'Brien.

The movie premiered on July 29, 2022 through Searchlight Pictures on Hulu. Critics responded positively overall, especially praising Deutch and O'Brien's performances. A trigger warning at the start referenced an "unlikable female protagonist" as a potential viewer concern. This comment was meant to address test screening feedback questioning why such a character existed in the film. The warning sparked controversy when viewers interpreted it as serious rather than satirical.
